Its species name refers to its camel-like shape and its leopard-like colouring. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest relative, the okapi. The nine subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns. The Red-billed Oxpecker is slightly smaller than Yellow-billed Oxpecker, with uniform brown upper parts at all ages"}
